Figure shows a closed surface which intersects a conducting sphere. If a positive charge is placed at point P, find the sign of flux passing through the curved surface S.
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The charge induced on left side is positive.

Hence, charge enclosed by Gaussian surface is positive.
Thus, the sign of the flux is `'+ve'`.
